Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Single-center, open-label, randomized, single-dose, 4-sequence, 4-treatment crossover study with at least 5 days of washout between dosing in each treatment period.
Subjects will be randomized to one of four sequences to receive the following investigational treatments under fasted condition:
Treatment A: IPX237-L0003 sublingual paste (0.42 mL)90 mg, retained under the tongue for 2 minutes.
Treatment B: IPX237-L0003 sublingual paste (0.42 mL) 90mg, no restriction on retention or swallowing.
Treatment C: IPX237-L0002 sublingual paste (0.42 mL)45mg, retained under the tongue for 2 minutes.
Treatment D: 15 mg esketamine (free base equivalent), preservative-free, infused IV over 40 minutes.
The sublingual paste must be placed under the tongue using the prefilled applicator. Proper administration of the sublingual drug products should be confirmed by a mouth check. Subjects must not expectorate, drink, or rinse the mouth for at least 1 hour postdose.
The subject should be evaluated at 32 hours postdose to determine that they are medically stable. The subject should be driven home by a responsible adult.

Pharmacokinetics
Timepoint [1] 291950 0
During each treatment period, blood samples will be collected for measurement of esketamine and (S)-norketamine in plasma at the following times: within 60 minutes predose, and postdose at 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours.
Secondary outcome [1] 307908 0
Safety
Timepoint [1] 307908 0
12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG), clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, adverse events (AEs), and concomitant medications will be evaluated over the course of the study. Physical examinations will be performed at Screening and at Study Exit. Single ECG will be evaluated at Screening, predose, and at 45 minutes, and 8 hours postdose. Vital signs will be measured in each period as specified.
